As part of the Sprint to the Future plan, the Groupe committed to a payout ratio of around 45%.
On the occasion of its annual results for 2021, the Groupe proposed to increase its dividend payout ratio, which will be between 45% and 50%. Accordingly, the Groupe paid a dividend of euro 2.40 per share for 2021 and then euro 2.90 per share for 2022, corresponding to payout ratios of 47.8% and 45.7% respectively of headline diluted earnings per share. The Groupe continued with a dividend of euro 3.40 per share for 2023 and euro 3.60 per share for 2024, corresponding to payout ratios of 48.9% and 49.3% of headline diluted earnings per share, respectively.
For 2025, the Groupe will propose a dividend of euro 3.75 per share to its shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 27, 2026. This dividend corresponds to a payout ratio of 50.1% of headline diluted earnings per share.
For individuals residing in France, the dividend is subject to income tax at either a flat rate or a progressive tax scale, at the taxpayer’s option.
If the taxpayer does not opt for the progressive income tax scale, the dividend is subject, at the time of payment, to social security withholdings of 18.6% and a non-discharging flat-rate income tax installment of 12.8%. This withholding tax is applied at the source and calculated on the gross dividend amount.
In the event of a global and irrevocable option by the taxpayer for the progressive income tax scale, this dividend is fully eligible for the 40% allowance provided for in Article 158.3.2° of the French General Tax Code.
